Thank you for all your comments on my work.
I really am so pleased you like my work when there is so much

slowing down too much. lol.

My card today is one I made nearly 2 years ago to send into
the CBeebies Birthday cards.
For anyone who doesn't know they show some of the childrens
cards you send in on their Birthdays. I had been very lucky and
had 2 previous cards already shown for my great granddaughter.
So I didn't think I would be lucky again, but I was and it was 
shown.
This is more like scrapbook page than a card. I put a picture

card I bought from C and C at least 3 years ago.
I did my usual covered up the fold.
The image is a freebie off the internet, and is coloured in with
Promarkers.
I added the Polar White Flower Soft for snow.
Some lovely crochet lace I bought many moons ago at a second
had shop.
I hope you like it, because I really liked this image, and was 
quite pleased with the result.

Thank you again for visiting my blog.
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Well after visiting lots of blogs and seeing the lovely array of

as I haven't made many so far.
So here is one I have just made, so that's another one off the
list. lol.
I hope you like it.

SYMPATHY CARD

Good morning to all you wonderful and talented blog friends and 
visitors.
May I say a big welcome to my new member, and thank you for
becoming a follower of my blog.
May I also say a big THANK YOU to all my followers for their
interest in my blog you are all soooooo very kind to include me
into your daily blog hopping.
THANK YOU also for all the wonderful comments you leave.
I love to read everyone, and really do appreciate them all.

My card today is one my daughter asked me to make, and it's
the one we all hate to make a sympathy card.
It is for her friends dad who passed away recently.
I spent many hours yesterday pondering on the design, and I just
wasn't happy about it.
Then I walked away and watched some TV as you do, came back
and it fell into place, and I was much happier with the result.
Interesting to see what you think.

Now the inside.


This was a 6x6 card size.
I had to make it quite flat to go in the post.
I used centura snow white pearl card and then I matted some
lovely pearly patterned papers on top.
I cut out 3 Parisian Motifs out of some lovely starstream aqua
pearl card, then I cut 16 Parisian Corners.
I added one to each corner inside and out, and then I added one
to the north south east and west of the front motif.
This gave it that lovely diamond shape.
A flower in the center and some pearls.
There you have the finished card, I hope you like it.

Thank you again for your visit.
Have a wonderful crafty Monday.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

TWINCHIE CHALLENGE No 9 HOT COLOURS

Hi and good morning everybody.
Well it's Sunday again and where has this week gone to.
Mind you after the bug thing I'm not sorry to see this week end.
 You know I said I could do with loosing some weight well I 
lost 9Ib with that darn thing. The only upside to the week.

any nasty germs that are about.

THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments.
Everyone means a great deal to me.

Well it's time for the Twinchie Challenge again.
This time they want Hot Colours.
So this is my version.

Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.

This was made with some holographic papers.
I cut the papers into triangles and matted them on the card.
Then I die cut 2 small squares from the Spellbinders Square
Swatches and mounted one on top of the other.
I die cut the butterfly from the Spellbinders Fanciful Flights.
I added some stones and there you have it.
I hope you like my effort.

Thank you again for taking the time to visit especially on a
